TO THE TEAYELLING PUBLIC. 



The utility of this book is manifold. It is presented to the Public, owing k 
the great importance of the Line of Railroads crossing the Continent fix i 
different points of our extended country, connecting with Steamship Line, 
crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. The completion of the Union Pacifi- 
and Central Pacific Railroads, in May, 1869, forming a Through Line oi 
Travel from Ocean to Ocean, was a bright event, that will be forever remem- 
bered by the American public. Since that period the Kansas Pacific Railroad,, 
extending westward to Denver,, Colorado, has been finished, and the Northern 
Pacific Railroad has been commenced and finished to the Red River of the 
North, — when completed, to extend from the head of Lake Superior to Puget 
Sound and Portland, Oregon, — thus affording an International Route from 
Ocean to Ocean, via the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. 

The Eastern cities that are mostly interested at this time in these great works 
and from whence connecting Railroads diverge, are Baltimore, Washington 
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Portland; while other cities in thf 
Valley of the Mississippi and on the shores of the Great Lakes, are alikt 
benefited. 

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Pennsylvania Central Railroad, Erie Rail 
way of New York, the Boston & Albany and New York Central Railroads 
and the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, and their connections, form the firs. 
great links in this Continental Line of Travel, extending from the Atlantic U 
Chicago and St. Louis, and from thence, crossing the Rocky Mountains to thj 
Pacific Ocean. 

The numerous Lines of Steamers running from American ports to Europe 
on the East, and Asia, on the West, are all duly noticed, together with a Descrip- 
tion of the principal Sea-ports on the Route Around the World. These speeds 
modes of communication, in connection with Ocean Lines of Telegraph] 
form the most important era in the World's history, and will, no doubt, tend U 
civilize and benefit the whole human family. 

Philadelphia, April, 1872. 



Entered, according to Act of Congress ,in the year 1872, by JOHN DISTURNELL, in the Office of the 
Librarian of Congress, at Washington.

COMMENCEMENT OF RAILROADS 

IN THE 

UNITED STATES. 



It is now forty years since the com- 
pletion of the first Railroad in the 
United States, several being projected 
as early as 1828. To the late Henry 
S. Tanner, author of a "Description 
of Canals and Railroads in the United 
States," published in 1840, we are in- 
debted for most of the following relia- 
ble information. 

. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail- 
road, the first important line under- 
taken, was incorporated on the 28th 
of February, 1827, by the Legislature 
of Maryland. The work was com- 
menced on the 4th of July, 1828, and 
fourteen miles opened for traffic in 1830 ; 
in 1831 it was extended to Frederick, 
62 miles, and in 1832, to the Point of 
Rocks, 68 miles, being soon thereafter 
opened to Harper's Ferry, 81 miles 
from Baltimore. Until 1831 it was 
operated by horse power. 

The Pennsylvania Railroad, 
authorized b}' Act of the Legislature, 
passed March, 1828, was commenced 
as a State work. It was divided into 
two divisions, and known as Phila- 
delphia and Columbia Railroad, 
81 miles in length, and the Alle- 
ghany Portage Railroad, 36 miles, 
running from Hollidaysburer to Johns- 
town, across the Alleghany Mountains. 
The latter road had several inclined 
plains, with stationary engines to facili- 
tate the transportation of freight and 
passengers, connecting at each termini 
with the Pennsylvania Canal running 



between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. 
In September, 1832, twenty miles of 
single track was ready for use on the 
Eastern Division, and in April, 1834, 
the entire route, from Philadelphia to 
Columbia, was opened for travel. 
Total cost of the Philadelphia and 
Columbia Railroad, $3,754,577. 

The Alleghany Portage Rail- 
road, which was considered a great 
achievement in engineering, attained 
an altituteof 2,490 ft. above the Atlantic 
Ocean. It had one tunnel 900 feet in 
length. This important work was 
commenced early in 1831, and finished 
in March, 1834. 

The Mohawk and Hudson, rim- 
ing from Albany to Schenectady, 17 
miles, was commenced in August, 1830, 
and completed in 1832, being the first 
railroad finished to completion in the 
United States; at each termini was an 
inclined plane with stationary engines. 

The Saratoga and Schenectady 
Railroad was commenced in 1831, 
and opened July, 1832. Length, 21 
miles. 

The South Carolina Railroad 
was commenced in 1830, and 62 miles 
of it finished in 1832. In 1834 it was 
completed to Hamburg, opposite Au- 
gusta, Georgia, 136 miles; at the time 
of* its completion it was the longest 
railroad in the world, being the first 
upon which a locomotive engine of 
American manufacture was used.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 






The New York and Harlem 
Railroad was commenced in 1831, 
and a portion of it within the City of 
New York opened the latter part of 
the same year. 

The Philadelphia, Germantown 

AND NORRISTOWN RAILROAD, 6 miles, 

to Germantown, was opened in 1832. 
In December a locomotive was put on 
this road, built by M. W. Baldwin of 
Philadelphia. The following Adver- 
tisement was issued, dated December 
13, 1832, and inserted in a Philadel- 
phia paper: — 

Notice. — The engine with a train 
of cars, will be run daily, (commencing 
this day,) when the weather is fair. 
When the weather is not fair, the 
horses will draw the cars. Passengers 
are requested to be punctual at the 
hours of starting. Points of starting 
are at Green and Ninth streets, and 
from the Main street, the centre of 
Germantown, near Wunder's Hotel. 
Whole cars may be taken. Tickets, 
25 cents. 

The Camden and Amboy Rail- 
road was commenced in 1831, and 14 
miles, extending from Bordentown to 
Hightstown, was completed in 1832. 
It was finished from Camden to South 
Amboy, 62 miles, in 1834, there con- 
necting with Steamers running to the 
City of New York. 

The New Jersey Ralroad was 
commenced in 1832, and completed to 
New Brunswick, 31 miles, in 1834. 

The Philadelphia and Trenton 
Railroad, 28 miles, was completed 
in 1833. 

The New Castle and French- 
town Railroad, connecting the 
Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, was 
completed in 1832. 



The Washington Branch of the 
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 31 miles 
in length, was opened in 1835. 

The Richmond, Fredericksburg 
and Potomac Railroad was opened 
from Richmond to Fredericksburg, 
Va., in 1837 ; and, in 1838, the Rich- 
mond and Petersburg Railroad 
was completed. 

The Philadelphia, Wilmington 
and Baltimore Railroad, 98 miles, 
was opened its whole length in 1838, 
— with other roads forming a through 
line of Railroad from New York to 
Washington. 

The Wilmington and Weldon 
Railroad, 162 miles in length, was 
opened in 1840; and, in 1843, the 
Petersburg and Roanoke Rail- 
road was finished, forming a continu- 
ous line of Railroad from the Potomac, 
at Acquia Creek, to Wilmington, N.C., 
and by Steamer to Washington, D. C. 

The Western Railroad of Massa- 
chusetts, now known as the Boston and 
Albany Railroad, 200 miles in length, 
was opened from Boston to Albany, 
N. Y. in 1841. The Boston and 
Worcester Railroad formed a part 
of this line of travel, extending from 
Boston to Worcester, 45 miles. 

In 1842 the important lines of Rail- 
road, under different names, extending 
from Albany to Buffalo, 298 miles, was 
completed, afterwards being consoli- 
dated under the name of the New 
York Central Railroad. The 
completion of this great work, afford- 
ing a through line of Railroad from 
Boston to Buffalo, was an event of 
great magnitude in the Railway his- 
tory of the country.

The Philadelphia and Heading 
Railroad, extending from Philadel- 
phia to the Schuylkill coal fields, was 
opened in 1842, being soon followed 
by other Railroads throughout the 
coal region of Pennsylvania. 

At this time (1842) there was about 
4,000 miles of Railroad finished in 
the United States ; after that period 
the growth gradually increased for the 



next eight years; in 1850 there being 
nearly 10,000 miles of Railroad com- 
pleted. In 18G0 there was about 20, 
000 miles completed. For four years 
the increase was small, owing to the 
breaking out of the rebellion, but since 
its close, in 1865, the increase has been 
very rapid, there being in 1872 up- 
wards of 60,000 miles finished and in 
operation. 



RAILROAD STATISTICS. 



The Annual figures in regard to Railway con- 
struction throughout the United States have 
been made up, and show a total of 54,435 miles 
constructed in 1870. The average cost per mile 
of new road was $40,000. 

The following Table shows the distribution 
of mileage and cost of Railroads in the several

RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES-1872. 



The Great Trunk Kail ways of 
the United States and Canada, with their 
Connections, which are made subser- 
vient to foreign commerce, flowing from 
Europe on the East and Asia on the 
West, diverge from the principal At- 
lantic ports lying within the Tempe- 
rate Zone, and extend across the Con- 
tinent to the Pacific Ocean. Other 
important Lines of Railway run from 
North to South, forming altogether a 
complete net- work system of Railroads, 
extending from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific Ocean. 

Baltimore, Norfolk, Philadelphia, 
New York, Boston and Portland, are 
the principal sea-ports from which the 
above Great Lines of commerce diverge 
and run Westward. East of the Alle- 
ghany Mountains there are now fin- 
ished" five principal Trunk Railways, 
connecting with other Lines of Rail- 
road running to the Mississippi River 
and the Great Lakes. 

The Baltimore and Ohio 
Ra ilroad, with its Branches, forms 
the first Great Line that is finished — 
running from tide-waters at Baltimore 
and Washington to the Ohio River — 
there connecting with Railroads tra- 
versing the Valley of the Mississippi 
and the basin of the Great Lakes. In 
additiA to its terminus at Wheeling, 
West Virginia, 379 miles west of Bal- 
timore, it has a Branch running to 
Parkersburg, West Virginia, and an- 
other from" Cumberland, Maryland to 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, running over 
the Alleghany Mountains, — thus mak- 
ing three important connections with 
western Railroad Lines running to the 



Mississippi River, there connecting 
with the Great Lines of Travel running 
through Kansas and Nebraska to the 
Pacific Ocean. 

The Pennsylvania Cen- 
tral Railroad forms the second 
Great Line crossing the Alleghany 
Mountains, uniting at Pittsburgh, 354 
miles from Philadelphia, with the Pitts- 
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, 
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis R. R., 
and all the Trunk Lines of Railways in 
the Valley of the Mississippi, and those 
extending westward across the Conti- 
nent. This Road connects with the 
Northern Central Railway, starting from 
Baltimore, and with the "Allentown 
Line," leaving New York by the Cen- 
tral New Jersey Railroad, — both uniting 
at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, — thus 
forming three Great Lines of Travel 
from the sea-board, in addition to its con- 
nection with the Philadelphia and Erie 
Railroad,, — which forms, in part, an im- 
portant Line of Travel from Philadel- 
phia and New York to Erie, Pennsyl- 
vania, — there connecting with Steamers 
running to the different ports on Lake 
Erie and the Upper Lakes. 

The Erie Railway, with its 
Branches, is the third Trunk Line, 
forming a Through Route of Travel 
from the sea-board to the basin of the 
Great Lakes and the Valley of the Mis- 
sissippi. It starts from Jersey City, op- 
posite New York, and runs through 
the State of New Jersey and Southern 
New York to Dunkirk, on Lake Erie, 
460 miles, while Branches diverge to 
Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, &c. 
The continuation of this Great Line

95 



of Travel, via the Atlantic and Great 
Western Railway, being under one con- 
trol, forms a speedy mode of convey- 
ance from New York to Cleveland and 
Cincinnati, Ohio,— connecting with 
other .Railroads running to Chicago, 
St. Louis, &c. 

The New York and Oswego 
Midland Railroad, now ap- 
proaching completion, will form an- 
other Through Line of Travel from the 
City of New York to the Great Lakes, 
having a double terminus, — one at Os- 
wego, on Lake Ontario, and another 
at Buffalo, on Lake Erie, — forming the 
shortest route to the basin of the Great 
Lakes and the Valley of the St. Law- 
rence Kiver. 

The Hudson River «fc New 
York Central Railroad, in 
connection with the Boston and Al- 
bany Railroad is the fourth Trunk 
Line extending from the sea-board ; 
forming in part a Through Route 
of Travel from the Atlantic to the 
PacificOcean. ThisimportantRailroad 
Route, starting from New York, passes 
up the Valley of the Hudson to Al- 
bany, and from thence through West- 
ern New York to Buffalo and Niagara 
Falls, there connecting with the Lake 
Shore Railroad, and with the Great 
Western Railuay of Canada, making 
close connections with Lines of Rail- 
road running to Chicago, St. Louis, &c. 
The Great Line of Travel from Boston, 
westward, unites at Albany with the 
New York Central Railroad, and other 
Railroads crossing the State of New 
York, extending to the Lakes and 
Canada. 

The Grand Trunk Rail- 
way of Canada, forming the fifth 
Trunk Line, controls the Line of Travel 
running from Portland, Maine to the 



Canada Line. It extends to Quebec 
on the Lower St. Lawrence, on the 
North, and to Montreal, Toronto and 
Detroit, Michigan, on the West, con- 
necting with all the Main Lines of 
Travel running to Chicago, Cincinnati, 
St. Louis, &c. This important Rail- 
way, with its Branches, is the great 
artery that furnishes Canada with a 
speedy mode of conveyance from the 
Atlantic and Gulf of St. Lawrence to 
the Great Lakes and Valley of the Mis- 
sissippi, — thus forming an international 
thoroughfare, passing through a deeply 
interesting section of the Country. 

The sixth Trunk Line, approaching 
completion, is the Chesapeake 
and Ohio Railroad, running 
from Richmond, Virginia, across the 
Alleghany Mountains to the Ohio 
River, there connecting with Railroads 
running through the Valley of the Mis- 
sissippi, forming a short Line of Travel 
from Norfolk, on the sea-board, to Cin- 
cinnati, Louisville, Memphis and St. 
Louis, and from thence to the Pacific 
Ocean. 

The Great Trunk Railways running 
West of the Mississippi, and crossing 
the Rocky Mountains, are the Union 
Pacific Railroad and the Central 
Pacific Railroad, forming a com- 
bined line of 1,914 miles of Road, ex- 
tending from Omaha to San Francisco. 
For further description, see page 100. 

The Kansas Pacific, and the Den- 
ver Pacific Railroads, 744 miles 
in length, unite with the above Great 
Line at Cheyenne, Wyoming Terri- 
tory, thus affording, in part, two Routes 
of Travel across the Continent, making 
close connections with all the Great 
Lines of Travel in the A" alley of the 
Mississippi. 



96 



ACROSS THE CONTINENT. 



- The Central Pacific Railroad 
which extends from San Francisco 
to Ogden, Utah, 881 miles, with its 
Branches, now has 1,025 miles of 
Road in operation, and 500 miles in 
course of construction, — covering nearly 
the whole Railroad system of the Pa- 
cific States. 

The California and Oregon 
Railway is finished from the Junc- 
tion of the Central Pacific to Chico, 
California, 96 miles, and will extend 
North to the Oregon State Line, there 
to unite with the Oregon and California 
Railroad, to extend further North to the 
Columbia River. 

On the completion of the South- 
ern Pacific Railroad, running 
from a point west of the Mississippi 
River and extending through the 
States of Arkansas, Texas, Arizona 
and California to the Pacific Ocean, 
there will be formed a great channel 
of commerce that will benefit all the 
Southern States and Territories. 

The Northern Pacific Rail- 
road, now in progress of construc- 
tion, when finished, will form the third 
Great Line of Travel crossing the 
Rocky Mountains, extending from Lake 
Superior and the Mississippi River to 
the Columbia River and Puget Sound. 
For further description, see page 105. 



Toledo, Wabash and 
Western Railroad.— This im- 
portant Railroad starting at Toledo, 
Ohio, crosses the States of Indiana 
and Illinois and reaches out to Iowa 
and Missouri, — forming the most direct 
Route from Lake Erie to the Missis- 
sippi River, and from there to the Pa- 
cific Ocean. The Main Line runs from 
Toledo to Quincy, 111., a distance of 
476 miles. 



The comple thi 

St. Louis Branch of tne auove Rail- 
way, now enables this Company to run 
their own trains direct from Toledo to 
St. Louis, a distance of 432 miles ; and 
in connection with the Lake Shore 
Railroad and the New York Central 
Railroad, forms a direct Through Route 
from Boston and New York to St. 
Louis, &c. 

The Toledo, Wabash and Western 
Railroad now has four important ter- 
mini on the Mississippi, — Quincy, 
Hannibal, St. Louis and Keokuk. The 
new Bridge across the River at Keokuk 
affords direct uninterrupted connec- 
tion, via the Des Moines Valley Rail- 
road, with the Iowa System of Rail- 
roads, and thence to Omaha and the 
West. The termini at Quincy and Han- 
nibal furnishes a direct Route to Kan- 
sas and Colorado ; and the South ter- 
minus, at St. Louis, facilitates for com- 
peting with other Eastern Lines for the 
travel and trade of the great business 
centre of the Mississippi, — forming in 
connection with Lake Erie and the St. 
Lawrence River a direct communica- 
tion with the European ports. 

Chicago, Burlington and 
Quincy Railroad.— This im- 
portant Railway runs from Chicago in 
a southwesterly direction to the Missis- 
sippi River, having a double termini, — 
one at Burlington, Iowa, and another 
at Quincy, Illinois. At the former ter- 
minus it connects with the Burlington 
and Missouri River Railroad, and at the 
latter with the Hannibal and St. Joseph 
Railroad, — thus furnishing two great 
Routes of Travel from Chicago to the 
Missouri River; there connecting with 
the great Through Routes of Travel 
to Colorado, Utah, California, &c. 

The Main Line extends from Chi-

connecting with the Des Moines Val- 
ley Railroad. 

"At Burlington and Quincy there are 
iron bridges over the Mississippi River, 
which enable Through Trains to run, 
without change of cars, from Chicago 
to Council Bluffs, Iowa, over the Bur- 
lington and Missouri River Railroad, 
and to Kansas City, St. Joseph, &c, 
over the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail- 
road. 

Burlington and Missouri 
River Railroad.— This Road 
running from the Mississippi River to 
the Missouri River, opposite Omaha, 
Nebraska, forms the third Great Line 
of Travel running across the State of 
Iowa, connecting with the Union Pa- 
cific Railroad, forming a Through Line 
of Travel to Colorado, Utah and Cali- 
fornia. 

The Nebraska City Branch, 50 miles 
in length, terminates on the Missouri 
River, opposite Nebraska City ; and 
the Nebraska Division extends from 
Plattsmouth to Lincoln, Neb., 55 miles. 
This Line will be extended to Fort 
Kearny, situated on the north bank of 
the Platte River, making a short con- 
nection with the Union Pacific Rail- 
road. In connection with the Chicago, 
Burlington and Quincy Railroad it 
will form a direct Line of Travel from 
Chicago to San Francisco. 



Chicago and Northwest- 
ern Railway.— This Great Rail- 
way, with its Branches, leaves Chicago 
by three Lines of Railroad, running 
West, Northwest and North — passing 
through the States of Illinois, Iowa 
and Wisconsin.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT, 



lantic to the Pacific Ocean, runs west- 
wardly from Chicago to Rock Island, 
111., there crossing the Mississippi 
River, hy a substantial bridge, to Daven- 
port, Iowa. From Davenport thisRoad 
is extended, westward, across the State 
of Iowa to the Missouri River, oppo- 
site Omaha, Neb., 494 miles from Chi- 
cago, there connecting with the Union 
Pacific Railroad, — thus forming a direct 
Through Railroad Route from Chicago 
to San Francisco, — a total distance of 
2,408 miles. 

The Peoria Branch Railroad runs 
from Bureau to Peoria, 111., 46 miles. 
The Southwestern Branch, finished from 
Wilton to Ashland, Iowa, 94 miles, 
when completed will extend to Leaven- 
worth, Kansas, crossing the State of 
Iowa and the Northwestern part of 
Missouri, thus forming another Line of 
Travel from Chicago to the Missouri 
River, connecting with all the Great 
Lines of Travel running through Kan- 
sas to Denver, Santa Fe, &c. 

Pacific Railroad (or Missou- 
ri.) — This Road runs from St. Louis, 
westward, to Kansas City and the State 
Line, 284 miles, connecting with the 
Kansas Pacific Railroad; then north- 
ward to Leavenworth and Atchison, 
Kansas, 46 miles further. It is an old, 
well built, and well managed Railroad, 
offering both safety and comfort to the 
travelling public. Being on a medium 
parallel of latitude, (the 39th south of the 
Missouri River,) and forming a prin- 
cipal connecting link between the East 
and extreme West, great numbers are 
constantly passing over it, and the 
amount of passenger business done by 
this Road is much greater than by any 
other Railway of the same length west 
of the Mississippi. 

Through the Main Line of this Rail- 



road, its Branches 1 e and 

Lexingtt 

tern Missouri and Kansas, immense 
quantities of produce flow into the St. 
Louis market from Missouri, Kansas 
and Colorado; and merchandise of 
great value is sent out from the same 
market to supply the wants of two or 
three millions of people. 

" It may be interesting to the trav- 
eller to know that the average speed on 
most of the Railroads of Missouri does 
not exceed twenty miles to the hour. 
If he is travelling on an express or 
mail train west of the Mississippi, he 
can approximate very closely to the 
time by dividing the distance in miles 
by twenty; the result will show the 
hours very nearly." 

North Missouri Railroad. 

— This Road extends from St. Louis to 
Kansas City on the west, 272 miles, 
and to Ottumwa, Iowa, on the north, 
132 miles from Moberly Junction, con- 
necting with the Des Moines Valley 
Railroad. At Centralia, 121 miles 
North of St. Louis, commences the 
Boone County and Jefferson City Rail- 
road, extending to Columbia, 22 miles. 
At R. and L. Junction on the Western 
Division, the St. Louis and St. Joseph 
Railroad intersects the Main Line, be- 
ing operated by this Company. 

This important Line of Travel runs 
through a rich section of country, and 
connects with the Kansas Pacific Rail- 
road at Kansas City and with the Kan- 
sas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs 
Railroad, at Harlem, one mile east of 
Kansas City, and at St. Joseph, 70 
miles north of Kansas City, running 
to opposite Omaha, Neb. ; another 
Branch Railroad is being constructed 
from Brunswick, Mo. direct to Omaha, 
188 miles. When completed, this Road

in connection with others, will afford a 
direct communication with Western 
Iowa, Nebraska, and Dakota, thereby 
sucuring a portion of the growing 
trade of the upper Missouri River to 
St. Louis. The whole number of miles 
of Railroad under the management of 
this Company is over five hundred. 

Atlantic and Pacific Rail- 
road, (formerly South Pacific.)— 
This important Road, running from 
St. Louis across the State of Missouri, 
was commenced several years since, 
but suffered from a multitude of delays 
during its early organization. It is 
now completed to the Missouri State 
Line, 330 miles from St. Louis, and 
has become one of the great thorough- 
fares of the Southwest. The Line of 
the Road is for the most part, through 
a beautiful section of country, with a 
fruitful soil, and climate as genial as 
that of Italy. 

The Company have a charter for a 
Road from Springfield, Mo. to San Fran- 
cisco, crossing the Continent near the 
35th parallel, which is considered by 
many as the shortest and most desira- 
ble as to grade, running through a fer- 
tile country rich in agricultural or 
mineral productions its entire length, 
and free from all climatic obstruc- 
tions — hence in many important re- 
spects the most desirable of any Route 
built or projected. It will run through 
the Indian Territory, New Mexico, 
Arizona and California to the Pacific 
Coast. 

A Branch Road is being built to ex- 
tend from Pierce City, Mo. to Van 
Buren, Arkansas; a distance of 125 
miles. 

The Land Grant at the disposal of 
this Company is very large and valu- 
able. 



Kansas Pacific Railroad. 

— Copied from "Tracy's Glide to 
the Great West." This important 
Road, 038 miles in length, traverses the 
entire State of Kansas from east to west, 
a distance of 420 miles, and pushes on 
into Colorado, until it reaches Denver, 
and there assuming the name of Denver 
Pacific, goes on a hundred and six 
miles to Cheyenne, Wyoming, con- 
necting with "the Union Pacific PmIU 
road, thus forming a Through Line of 
Travel from Missouri and Kansas to 
Colorado, California, &c. 

No other agency has done so much 
towards making Kansas what she is 
as the above Railroad. The present 
business over the Road is enormous. 
The cattle business alone is very great, 
and constantly increasing. Kansas is 
rapidly becoming the great source of 
cattle supply for the east. A long the 
whole Line, towns are constantly spring- 
ing up, and soon become thriving seats 
of trade. The Kansas Pacific has put 
its immense land grant into market, 
on the most favourable terms. 

Perhaps in the near future, the great 
Kansas Pacific Railway may be the 
chief thoroughfare across the Conti- 
nent. Already the Rocky Mountains 
are within its iron grasp, and should 
it decide to branch at Kit Carson, and 
sweep along the 35th parallel, its loco- 
motives will soon be whistling a wel- 
come to the Pacific Coast, — even now, 
with its present connection by Denver 
and Cheyenne, with the Union Pacific, 
a great share of the travel and traffic 
across the Continent, will undoubtedly 
take this Route. Passing through the 
beautiful valley, and over the rich 
prairies of Kansas, with the newly 
opened farms on every side, that por- 
tion of the trip is made delightful, and 
as the western border of the State is

ACROSS THE CONTIN 



approached, exciting, by the vast herds 
of Buffalo and Antelope thronging 
along the track. After leaving Kansas, 
the Railroad passes almost due west 
through Colorado to Denver, skirting 
the edges of the noted Pine Ridges. 
Along its path through Colorado im- 
mense coal fields exists, some of the 
veins being fourteen feet in thickness. 

Kansas City, the western termi- 
nus of the Missouri Pacific and North 
Missouri Railroad from St. Louis, and 
the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad 
connecting with Chicago and Toledo, 
is the point where trains are made up 
every day for the long Eoute to San 
Francisco, via Denver and Cheyenne. 
But the Kansas Pacific has another 
terminus at Leavenworth City, one 
of the largest and most prosperous 
and beautiful cities in Kansas. This 
Road connects with the Main Line at 
Lawrence, another important station, 
where the Leavenworth, Lawrence and 
Galveston Railroad unites with the 
former. 

"The Kansas Pacific Railroad 
was formerly opened to the travel and 
business of the country on the 1st of 
September, 1870. The time from Kan- 
sas City to Denver is thirty-six hours. 
Tourists and pleasure-seekers will find 
this a preferable Route, as they will 
have an opportunity to see the rich 
and productive Valleys of the Kansas 
and Smoky Hill Eivers, and the grand 
mountain scenery between Denver and 
Cheyenne." 

Running Southward from Denver, 
the Denver and Rio Grande Rail- 
way is being built to connect this sys- 
tem of Roads with the arable and gra- 
zing Valleys of Southern Colorado, and 
the great mineral deposits of the tribu- 
taries of the Arkansas, the Pecos, and 



the Rio Grande. Th 

tanceof bO innes from Denver, reaches, 

at the foot of Pikes Peak, the cele- 
brated Soda Springs of the " Boiling 
River," which are already largely re- 
sorted to for their medicinal virtues. 
Here the mineral and grazing dis- 
tricts of the South Park have their 
outlet. 

Passing southward, 130 miles from 
Denver, it touches the town of Pueblo 
with 1500 inhabitants, and then Canon 
City with its rich coal mines ; thence 
into the Rio Grande Valley through 
the vast possessions of the United 
States Freehold Land and Emigration 
Company, which are being settled by 
General Burnside and friends, and 
near the rich Maxwell Land Co.'s 
property, — one gold mine of which 
is netting $120,000 per year to its pro- 
prietors. 

Passing through Santa Fe with some 
6,000 people, and Albuquerque with 
about 4,000 inhabitants, it will be ex- 
tended through the line of towns along 
the Rio Grande, between rich silver, 
gold and copper districts to the Mexi- 
can line, and the celebrated silver dis- 
tricts of Chihuahua. 



Union Pacific Railroad. 

— The completion of the Union Paci- 
fic Railroad, extending from Omaha, 
Nebraska, to Ogden, Utah, a distance 
of 1,032 miles, and the Central Pacific 
Railroad, 881 miles in length, forming 
a Through Line of Travel across the 
Continent, was a bright event that will 
forever be remembered with delight 
by the American public. From Ocean 
to Ocean the most direct Route passes 
through thirteen States and Territo- 
ries of the Union, this being the main 
artery of the System of Railroads in 
the United States, from which extend 



RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. 



101 



Branches reaching every part of our 
extended country. 

The construction of the Road was 
commenced in December, 18G3; but 
no considerable amount of work was 
done till the commencement of 1865, 
owing to the difficulties that arose in 
the location of the Line. In 1865 over 
100 miles were graded and bridged, 
and rails laid upon 40 miles. In 1866, 
265 miles of Eoad were completed ; in 
1867, 245 miles; in 1868, 350 miles. 
The Road was completed to a junction 
with the Central Pacific Railroad of 
California on the 10th of May, 1869, 
which event was duly celebrated by 
the united Companies at Promontory, 
Utah. The last tie was made of lau- 
rel wood, finely inlaid with gold and 
silver, while the spikes were composed 
of precious metals and iron. 

The Route for the eastern portion of 
the Line, starting from Omaha, is up 
the Valley of the Platte, which has a 
course nearly due east from the base 
of the Rocky Mountains. Till these 
are reached, this Valley presents, pro- 
bably, the most favorable Line ever 
adopted for such a work for an equal 
distance. It is not only nearly straight, 
but its slope is very nearly uniform 
towards the Missouri River, at the 
rate of about 10 feet to the mile. The 
soil on the greater part of the Line 
forms an admirable road bed, while 
but few bridges are required until the 
North Platte is reached. 

The base of the mountains is as- 
sumed to be at Cheyenne, Wyoming 
Territory, 516 miles from the Missouri 
River. This point is elevated 6,040 
feet above the sea, and 5,074 feet above 
Omaha. From Cheyenne to the sum- 
mit of the mountains at Sherman, 
which is elevated 8,242 feet above the 
sea, the distance is 32 miles. The 



grades for reaching this summit do 
not exceed 80 feet to the mile. The 
elevation of the vast plain from which 
the Rocky Mountains rise is so great 
that these summits, when they are 
reached, present no obstacles so formi- 
dable as those offered by the Alleghany 
ranges to several Lines of Railroads 
which cross them before descending 
into the Valley of the Mississippi. 

After crossing the Eastern Crest of 
the mountains, the Line traverses an 
elevated plateau for about 400 miles 
to the Western Crest of the mountains, 
which forms the eastern, rim of the 
Salt Lake Basin, and which has an 
elevation of 7,500 feet above the sea. 
Upon this elevated table is. a succes- 
sion of extensive plains, which present 
great facilities for the construction of 
the Road. From Ogden, westward, 
runs the Central Pacific Railroad. 

St. Paul and Sioux City 

Railroad. — This Road runs south- 
west from St. Paul, through the Min- 
nesota Valley to Mankato, and Sioux 
City on the Missouri River, a distance 
of 276 miles, where it connects with 
the Sioux City and Columbus Branch 
of the Union Pacific Railroad, now 
being constructed. When finished, this 
Line of Road in connection with the 
Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad, 
will form a Railroad Route 100 miles 
shorter to Duluth, on Lake Superior, 
than to Chicago, on Lake Michigan. 
This is one of the most important Lines 
of Railroad* that crosses the fertile 
State of Minnesota on account of its 
relations with the Union Pacific Rail- 
road and Lake Superior. Shipments 
can be made, via Lake, River and Canal 
transportation, by this Route, to Canada 
and all the northern sea-ports of the 
United States.

St. Paul and Pacific Rail- 
road, consolidated with the NORTH- 
ERN Pacific Railroad, November 
25, 1870, consists of two divisions, — 
the Main Line, or First Division ex- 
tends from St. Paul to Breckinridge, 
Minnesota, 216 miles, with the right 
to extend the Line from Breckinridge, 
on the Ked River of the North, to the 
boundary line between the United 
States and British America. 

The Second Division extends from 
St. Paul to Watab, Minnesota, a dis- 
tance of 80 miles, and will extend 
northwesterly on the west side of the 
Mississippi Kiver, connecting with the 
Main Line of the Northern Pacific 
Railroad west of Crow Wing, and ex- 
tend on to the British border at Pem- 
bina, on the Bed Elver, to the 49th 
parallel of latitude, — thus securing the 
carrying trade of British America. 

The purchased Lines have liberal 
land grants through the richest parts 
of Minnesota, which accrue to the 
Northern Pacific Kailroad Company, 
and the completion of all the Lines 
will give the Northern Pacific Com- 
pany nearly nine hundred miles of 
Koad in the State. 

[Northern Pacific Rail- 
road. — The Act of Congress dona- 
ting lands for this Road, prescribes that 
it shall be laid north of the 45th par- 
allel of north latitude. Its termini 
are at Duluth, Minnesota, at the 
head of Lake Superior, and a point, 
not yet designated, on Puget Sound, 
with a Branch Road terminating at 
Portland, Oregon. The charter, as 
amended, authorizes the Company to 
construct a Branch Road, starting from 
"some convenient point" on the Trunk 
lane, across the Rocky Mountains, to 
Portland, and a Branch from Portland, 



northward, to the terminus on Puget 
Sound. These two Branch Roads are 
given (by amended charter) the same 
proportionate land grant as the Main 
Line, namely, 25,600 acres, per lineal 
mile of Road, through the Territories, 
and 12,800 acres, per lineal mile, 
through the organized States. The 
Main Branch Road will leavetheTrunk 
Line somewhere near the junction of 
the Yellow Stone and Missouri Rivers, 
following up the valley of the former 
stream, through Deer Lodge Pass, and 
then down the Snake and Columbia 
Rivers to Portland, Oregon. 

Estimated length, of Main Line, 
connecting the navigation of the Great 
Lakes with the commerce of the Pa- 
cific Ocean, 1,775 miles; probable 
length of Trunk Line and Branches, 
2,300 miles. The total amount of land 
to which the Northern Pacific Rail- 
road is entitled, by its grant, is about 
sixty million acres, almost entirely fertile, 
with a salubrious climate, being capa- 
ble of sustaining a dense population. 
The Winter months are comparatively 
mild, with but a small fall of snow, 
while the Summer months are warm 
and favorable for the growth of the 
cereals, grasses, and vegetables of al- 
most every variety. 

" The lands are within the parallels 
of latitude which in Europe and Asia 
embrace the most enlightened, crea- 
tive, conquering and progressive popu- 
lations. They lie within the climatic 
conditions of'the isothermal lines of 
mean annual temperature, (50° to 52° 
Fahr.,) which mark on the Pacific 
Coast in latitude 47° north the mild- 
ness of the climate of the Chesapeake 
Bay, on the Atlantic side in lati- 
tude 38°, and which give to the re- 
gion of this Railroad between the Red 
River of the North and the Pacific a

milder atmosphere, (at the same alti- 
tude) than is to be found anywhere 
else at the same distance from thf 
Equator, except upon the western 
coast of Europe." 

By the purchase of the St. Paul and 
Pacific Kailroad, the Northern Pacific 
Railroad controls the entire Railroad 
traffic in the "New Northwest," and 
connects with the Railways of Wiscon- 
sin and Illinois, as well with the navi- 
gable waters of the Mississippi River 
and Lake Superior. 

The work was begun in July, 1870, 
on the eastern portion of the Line, and 
the money provided, by the sale to 
stockholders of some six millions of 



the Company's bonds, to build and 
equip the Road from Lake Superior 
across Minnesota to the Red River of 
the North, 252 miles. This important 
Division of the road is now completed 
and running to Moorhead, situated on 
the east bank of the Red River, from 
whenceStages and Steamers convey pas- 
sengers to Pembina and Fort Garry, 
Manitoba. The Dakota Division, 200 
miles in length, extending westward to 
the Missouri River will be completed 
in July, 1872. The work on the Western 
Division, commencing at Puget Sound, 
is. in rapid progress of construction. 
The road is also being built between the 
Columbia River and Puget Sound.

AROUND THE WORLD 

IN NINETY DAYS, BY RAIL AND STEAM, 



Via THE AMERICAN OVERLAND ROUTE, JAPAN, CHINA, INDIA, EGYPT, and 
tne CONTINENT OF EUROPE. 



The great improvements made in 
the modes and convenience of travel 
during the past few years have quite 
surprised every one, and not least those 
who have been accustomed to pas- 
senger transportation both by land and 
sea. A traveller or business man who, 
a few years ago, went to San Francisco, 
Japan, China or India, or made the 
circuit of the globe, arranged his af- 
fairs with the expectation that at least 
a year or two of his life was required 
to make the journey by land and water. 
To-day he can start from New York 
or London, transact important busi- 
ness, and enjoy the pleasures of travel, 
returning to his home, if desired, with- 
in the period of three months ; during 
which time he is in communication 
with the chief centres of business by 
telegraph and steam post-routes. 

The opening of the Union Pacific 
and Central Pacific Railways in May, 
1869, — bringing the Atlantic sea-ports 
of Boston, New York, Philadelphia 
and Baltimore within less than a 
week's comfortable journey of San 
Francisco, on the Pacific coast, 3,300 
miles distant, — was an event that has 
changed the Koute of Travel Around 
the World. 

Arrangements have been made in 
London and New York with the vari- 
ous Railway and Steamship Compa- 
nies interested, for a complete system 



of Coupon Excursion Tickets, fur- 
nished with which, a few pounds in 
cash to cover incidental expenses, the 
traveller can make the circuit of the 
World, not only with ease and com- 
fort, with the privilege of breaking 
and renewing the journey when and 
where he pleases, but also with a 
measure of protection and attention 
from agents and officials, en route, not 
usually accorded to ordinary passen- 
gers on "Ocean Highways." 

On the completion of the Northern 
Pacific Railroad, extenuing from Lake 
Superior to Puget Sound, another 
Through Route will be afforded the 
travelling public. This great line of 
travel will run through the States and 
Territories of Minnesota, Dakota, Mon- 
tana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, 
-—a total distance of about 1,800 miles. 
It will form a favorite Route Across 
the Continent, and lessen the time 
Around the World. Then the great 
artery of commerce will flow through 
the Gulf and River St. Lawrence, via 
the Great Lakes to Puget Sound — 
crossing the North Pacific Ocean and 
Sea of Okhotsk, then enter the mouth 
of the Amoor River, running into the 
interior of Asia, — connecting with 
Overland Routes of Travel to China 
and Russia, and to European cities by 
Railroads, finished or in progress of 
construction. 

113 



114 



AKOUND THE WORLD. 



The City of New York, the 

metropolis of the United States, the 
greatest commercial emporium in the 
New World, and the third in point of 
wealth and population in the Cities of 
Christendom, is situated on the south- 
ern extremity of Manhattan Island, at 
the junction of the Hudson and East 
Rivers, eighteen miles from the Atlan- 
tic Ocean, in Lat. 40° 42' N. ; Long. 
74° 00' W. Mean Annual Temp. 51° 
Fahr. Population ahout 1,000,000. 
The Bay and Harbor of New York 
are its greatest attraction, in a com- 
mercial point of view. Here Ocean 
Steamers and coastwise vessels can ap- 
proach, with safety, at all times of the 
year. From this favored port a fleet 
of about 150 Steamships, owned by 
twelve different companies, sail to and 
from European ports, affording every 
desired accommodation for passengers 
and freight. 



There are now four Great Trunk 
Lines of Railroad, running from New 
York to the Valley of the Mississippi 
and the Great Lakes, connecting with 
the Trans-Continental Lines — forming 
a speedy mode of conveyance Across 
the Continent of America to the shores 
of the Pacific Ocean. These facilities, 
combined, affords New York advan- 
tages, which no other city on the globe 
possesses, as a commercial emporium. 

Those intending a journey Around 
the World, starting from the Atlantic 
sea-board, would naturally proceed 
westward, via Chicago or St. Louis, 
and from thence to San Francisco, — 
returning via the East Indies and the 
Suez Canal, to Paris or London, — 
thence from Liverpool to New York, 
or some other American port. This 
extended trip can be made with com- 
fort- in ninety davs, at an expense of 
about $1,200, in gold. 



NSW YORK TO CHICAGO, ST. LOUIS, &c. 



There is a choice of three Lines of 
Railway from New York to Chicago, 
direct, — the distance being about 900 
miles ; viz., Pennsylvania Central, the 
Erie Railway, and the Hudson River & 
New York Central. Usual through time, 
30 hours. 

Chicago, which is the largest 
city of Illinois, and an important mart 
of commerce, is favorably situated on 
the south-western shore of Lake Michi- 
gan, from whence Railroads diverge 
to every point of the compass; while 
the Lake navigation affords a cheap 
transit to the Eastern markets. Lat. 
41° 52' N., Long. 81° 47' W. Mean 
Annual Temp. 47° Fahr. Population, 
about 300,00Q. The great fire of Octo- 
ber 9, 1871, will long be remembered 



as the greatest calamity that has oc- 
curred in modern times. While the 
business of the city has been deranged, 
the Railroads are all in good order, 
prepared to accommodate passengers 
and freight-traffic. The principal Ho- 
tels are the Sherman House, the Tre- 
mont House, and the Briggg House, 
— new houses under old names — the 
former buildings having been de- 
stroyed. 

St. !Lotlig<, 280 miles south of 
Chicago, and 1,088 miles west of New 
York, can be reached via the Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad, or the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad. From thence passen- 
gers for San Francisco can be conveyed 
by the Kansas Pacific Route, or by the 
North 3Iissouri Railroad, to Omaha, 



OMAHA — CHEYENNE — SALT LAKE CITY. 



115 



and then over the Union Pacific Bail- 
road. 

From Chicago to Omaha, 496 
miles, the trains run over three par- 
allel lines, — the Chicago & North- 
western Railroad, Chicago, Rock Island 
& Pacific Railroad, and the Oiicago, 
Burlington & Missouri River Rail- 
road, terminating at Council Bluffs, 
Iowa. At Omaha, on the Missouri 
River, commences the Union Pacific 
Railroad. Its extreme length, in con- 
nection with the Central Pacific, being 
1,913 miles; or, from New York to 
San Francisco, 2,310 miles, by most 
direct route. 

Omaha, Nebraska, is favorably 
situated on the west bank of the Mis- 
souri River, and is a place of growing 
importance. Here has recently been 
erected a magnificent Railroad Bridge, 
extending across the stream to Coun- 
cil Bluffs, Iowa, which forms the 
present terminus of the Union Pacific 
Railroad. 

Proceeding westward from Omaha 
the Railroad extends along the north 
bank of the Platte River to near the 
western bounds of the State of Ne- 
braska — there being a gradual rise of 
land until the base of the Rocky 
Mountains is reached. 

Cheyenne, Wyoming, 516 miles 
west of Omaha and 106 miles north 
of Denver, Colorado, is the first 
station of importance, being elevated 
6,000 feet above the ocean. A Rail- 
road runs to Denver, connecting with 
the Kansas Pacific Railway, forming, 
in part, a Through Route to St. Louis, 
910 miles distant. The traveller by 
either of the above routes, if crossing 
the Continent, can witness the mag- 
nificent scenery of the Rocky Moun- 
tains, the Sierra Nevada Range, and 



Mountain Passes, through the stupen- 
dous natural walls of the Echo and 
Weber Canons, — forming together the 
most varied and attractive scenery in 
the world. 

At Ogden, Utah, passengers can 
stop and visit the valley of the Great 
Salt Lake, taking the Branch Railroad, 
38 miles in length. 

Salt Lake City, the capital of 
Utah, where is congregated the Mor- 
mon settlement, is well worthy of a 
visit. The chief object of interest is 
the Tabernacle, capable of containing 
8,000 people. Lat. 40° W N., Long. 
112° W. Altitude, 4,350 feet above the 
ocean. Mean Annual Temp. 53° Fahr. 

Great Salt Lake is over 100 
miles long by 40 wide. Several islands 
rise from its briny surface, some of 
them to a great altitude. The view 
from the eastern slope of the Promon- 
tory Mountains is truly sublime, with 
the Wahsatch Mountains in the dis- 
tance. 

Leaving Ogden, on resuming the 
journey, the passenger proceeds by the 
Central Pacific Railway to Sacramento 
and San Francisco.' "If the Union 
Pacific is a wonderful work, what 
terms must be used to describe the 
'Central?' As an achievement of en- 
gineering skill, it surpasses any thing 
on this continent, and competes suc- 
cessfully with any work of the same 
kind in Europe." The highest alti- 
tude attained is the pass at the summit 
of the Sierras, 7,042 feet above the 
ocean. The highest altitude on the 
" Union Pacific' 1 is at Sherman, 33 miles 
west of Cheyenne, through the pass 
of the Rocky "Mountains, elevated 8,242 
feet. From this point westward to 
near Ogden, the track of the Railroad 
is elevated over 6,000 feet above the

ocean, here presenting great obstacles 
to travel during the winter months, 
by the accumulation of snow. (For 
altitudes, &c, See page 112.) If the 
line of this road had been carried up 
the North Fork of the Platte Kiver to 
Fort Laramie, and thence to the South 
Pass, elevated about 6,000 feet, a safe 
route, no doubt, could have been found 
free from obstruction in winter. 

San Francisco, the great com- 
mercial emporium of the Pacific Coast, 
with a population of 150,000 souls, 
has had a marvellous growth within 
the past twentv-five years. Lat. 37° 
48' N., Long/ 122° 30' W. Mean 
Annual Temp. 56° Fahr. The future 
of this favored city it is hard to predict, 
when the rich products of Japan, 
China, the Polynesian Islands, and 
Australia all centre here, to be trans- 
ported eastward to the Atlantic ports 
of America and to Europe. The pro- 
ducts of California alone are immense 



— her precious minerals, grain and 
fruits are a source of great wealth, 
enriching trade and commerce to a 
large extent. Lines of Steamers run 
from San Francisco to Portland, 
Oregon, and to Puget Sound ; also, 
coastwise, along Southern California to 
San Diego, and from thence along 
the Mexican coast and coast of Central 
America to Panama, connecting with 
Ocean Steamers running from Aspin- 
wall to the city of New York. 

The Pacific Mail Line of Ocean 
Steamers, running to Japan and China 
direct, and the United States, New Zea- 
land and Australia Line, to the Sand- 
wich Islands, New Zealand and Austra- 
lia, afibrd ample opportunities to visit 
all parts of Asia and the Polynesian 
Islands of the Pacific. A western 
course is pursued in sailing from San 
Francisco to Japan and China, while 
a south-western direction is followed 
in going to the Sandwich Islands and 
Australia.

owes its existence. The Railway Sta- 
tion is at the extremity of the island ; 
it first passes through a dense tropical 
forest, crosses the Chagres River upon 
a handsome iron bridge at Barbacoas, 
and, continuing through magnificent 
scenery, cuts at last through huge 
granite cliffs, beyond which the beauti- 
ful Valley of Paraiso lies, and both 
the Ocean and the City of Panama 
come in view. This road, 50 miles in 
length, greatly shortens the route of 
the traveller from Europe to the west 
coast of North and South America. 
Several lines of Steamers arrive and 
depart from this port. 

Panama, a famous city and sea- 
port of New Granada, on the Pacific, 
is situated on the south coast of the 
Isthmus of Panama, at the head of a 
bay of the same name; Lat. 8° 57' 
N.,_ Long. 79° 3(K W. ; connected by 
Railway with Aspinwall, on the Carib- 
bean Sea. Mean Annual Temp. 80° 
Fahr. Population 12,000. The city 
has an imposing aspect from the ocean ; 
its streets are cleaner than most Span- 
ish-American cities. It is encircled 
by some irregular and not very strong 
fortifications. The houses are partly 



built of wood, but many are of stone, 
and the largest ones have patios or 
court-yards, in the old Spanish style. 
There is a fine Cathedral, built about 
two centuries ago. The roadstead is 
one of the finest in the world. There 
are a number of islands a short dis- 
tance from the main-land, which afford 
anchorage for ships of any burthen. 

Lines of Ocean Steamers run from 
Panama to ports in Central America, 
Mexico and California, on the North ; 
also to ports on the coast of Ecuador, 
Peru and Chili, on the South.

the Presidency of Bombay, lies on the 
south-east extremity of the island of 
the same name, close to the main-land, 
in Lat. 18° 56' N., Long. 72° 53' E. 
Mean Annual Temp. 79° Fahr. Popu- 
lation 1,000,000. The Europeans and 
Parsee merchants have their places of 
business in the fort or New Town, and 
their private residences some miles 
away; the native population, both 
Hindoo and Mahommedan, live in the 
city, about a mile from the fort. There 
are numerous public buildings, and 
many mosques and temples. 

The harbor of Bombay is excellent 
and commodious. The city has an 
extensive trade with China, importing 
from thence tea, silk, sugar, treasure, 
&c. The principal exports are raw 
cotton, opium, pearls, sandal- wood, &c.

miles east of the Straits of Babel 
mandeb, in Lat. 12° 40 / N., Long. 44° 
57 / E. Mean Annual Temp. 82° Fahr. 
Population, 30,000. Its position has 
made it a point of primary importance 
in the direct : trade between Europe 
and Asia. It has some trade with 
Mocha and the ports of the Red Sea. 
Aden depends entirely for its supplies 
on the interior, as it is utterly barren 



in its vicinity. The fortifications con- 
structed by the English are of great 
strength, rendering them almost im- 
pregnable. The passage through the 
Straits of Babelmandeb and the Red 
Sea is usually found to be excessively 
hot, as well as the surrounding shores 
of Arabia and Abyssinia. 

Suez, a sea-port of Egypt, 76 miles

The Suez Canal.— The direct 
line from Tinah to Suez is only 70 
miles; but the actual distance which 
the canal traverses from Port Said to 
where it debouches into the Red Sea 
is 100 miles. About 60 miles of the 
canal's course lies through the Lakes 
Menzaleh, Ballah, Timsah, and the 
Bitter Lakes. Its width at the water 
line is 328 feet for nearly 80 miles, 
and the depth of water is 25 feet. 
The width at the bottom of the canal 
is 72 feet throughout. The width of 
the canal at the entrance in the roads 
of Suez is 900 feet.

Cairo, or as it is often called 
Grand Cairo, the chief city of modern 
Egypt, is situated on the right or east 
bank of the Nile, 12 miles above the 
commencement of the delta, and 130 
miles from Alexandria, in Lat. 30° 2' 
K., Long. 31° 15 / E. Mean Annual 
Temp. 72° Fahr. Population, about 
300,000. The main body of the city 
is distant about two miles from the 
river, and is situated at the entrance 
of that immense plain, composed of 
alluvial soil, which here suddenly 
spreads out from the Nile, and com- 
prehends the whole of lower Egypt. 
The public buildings, pyramids, and 
objects of interest surrounding the 
city are numerous. The inhabitants 
of Cairo are composed of a great many 
different races ; the most numerous are 
the Arabs, who constitute the great 
body of the people. The diseases of 
Cairo arc common to all Lower Egypt. 
The most unhealthy season is the latter 
part of April and the whole of May, 
when the Kamasia winds blow; but 
the plague is the most fatal to the 
natives; it generally rages once in 
every four or five years, and continues 
only during the winter season. The 
Europeans, however, are seldom at- 
tacked. The city is well worthy of a 
visit, and usually healthy in winter. 

Port Said, a sea-port of Lower 
Egypt, in the Mediterranean, at the 
entrance of the Suez Canal, 30 miles 
S. S. E. of Damietta, in Lat. 32° 19/ 
N., Long. 34° 22' E. Mean Annual 
Temp. 70° Fahr. Population, 15,000. 
This port had only a few huts ten 
years ago, and is now a thriving town. 
It is regularly laid out in squares and 
streets, and there are churches, mosques 
and hospitals, the ensemble being that 
of a lively sea-port. 



The Steamers of the Austrian Lloyd's 
run between Port Said and Constanti- 
nople. Those of the Messageries Im- 
perials leave Marseilles for Port Said 
every ten days. British Steamers also 
run to this port. 

Alexandria, a sea-port and fa- 
mous city of Egypt, distant about 130 
miles by rail from Cairo, in Lat. 31° 
11 / N., Long. 29° 5 / E. Mean An- 
nual Temp. 70° Fahr. Population, 
200,000. The new city of Alexandria 
is in every way uneastern in its ap- 
pearance, the European element having 
nearly completely submerged every 
remnant of ancient and local tradition. 
Were it not for Pompey's Pillar and 
Cleopatra's Needle, still standing — 
monuments of earlier ages — the travel- 
ler would imagine himself landed in 
some French or Italian city. The 
great square is surrounded by hand- 
some houses, the residences of the 
European consular bodies and mer- 
cantile community. The native por- 
tion of the city is, like that of all 
eastern cities, dirty and dingy. 

Steamers of all maritime nations 
run to and from Alexandria, passing 
through the Mediterranean to different 
ports. Distance to Marseilles, about 
2,000 miles ; to Southampton, England, 
3,000 miles. 

Brindisi, is an important sea- 
port on the south-east coast of Italy, 
on the Railway from Trani to Lecce, 
and the Gulf of Taranto. It lies in 
the same Lat., 40° 40' N., on the east 
coast, or heel, of Italy, as Naples does 
opposite to it on the west coast, or 
instep, of the peninsula. Long. 18° 
2 / E. Mean Annual Temp. 60° Fahr. 
Population, 15,000. Being only three 
days steaming to Alexandria, this port 
promises to become the connecting

port for travellers between Europe 
and Asia. The Railway from Ancona 
to Lecce enables the traveller to reach 
London within three days ; while, via 
the Mont Cenis Tunnel, the trip can 
be made in little more than 48 hours. 

The geographical position of the 
port of Brindisi makes it a convenient 
place of call for vessels trading in the 
Adriatic, and it is the only safe harbor 
of refuge on this coast. 

Travellers may avoid the examina- 
tion of their luggage by having it 
plombe and registered for the frontier 
town to which they are bound. 

Marseilles, a celebrated sea- 
port of France, on the east side of the 
Gulf of Lyons, 170 miles S. S. E. of 
Lyons, and 420 miles S. E. of Paris,

formation see European Guide Books. 

On arriving at Pakis or London, 
after making a circuit of the globe, 
the European traveller may be said to 
have finished his journey, while the 
American traveller has a choice of 
Steamship Lines to proceed direct to 
New York, or other ports, from which 
Steamers run to and from Europe.

PHILADELPHIA TO LIVERPOOL. 

This Company has contracted with Messrs. Cramp & Sons, Kensington, for 
the construction of four Ocean Steamers of about 3,000 tons each, to be finished 
during the present year (1872.) The names of the Steamers are as follows :—

These Steamships, when completed, will not be surpassed by any now afloat 
for comfort and magnificence. The cabins and state-rooms will have all the 
appointments, &c, of first-class hotels, while the Steerage, which is to accom- 
modate more than 800 passengers, will be fitted up with every convenience.

AROUND THE WORLD. 



OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL, QUEBEC & MONTREAL. 



The Canadian Steam Naviga- 
tion Company, chartered in May, 
1853, was the first Company to com- 
mence running a regular line of Steam- 
ers from Great Britain to Quebec and 
Montreal. 

Although the regular trips were to 
commence in 1854, the " Genova," of 
350 tons, was dispatched from Liver- 
pool, and arrived in May 1853. She 
was succeeded by the " Lady Eglinton" 
(335 tons,) which made two trips. 

In 1854 the Company put the Steam- 
ers Charity, Sarah Sands, Ottawa, and 
Cleopatra on the route, and five trips 
were made to Montreal. Fourteen 
more trips were made during the sea- 
son, but the vessels came only to Quebec. 

In 1855, the British Government 
being very much in need of vessels for 
the transport of troops and ammuni- 
tions of war to the Crimea, these Steam- 
ers were, with the consent of the Cana- 
dian Government, chartered for that 
purpose, and no Steamers arrived. 

Thereupon the well-known firm of 
Messrs. Edmonstone, Allan & Co., (now 
Messrs. H. & A. Allan, of Montreal, 
Messrs. Allan, Rae & Co., of Quebec, 
with branch firms in Liverpool, Glas- 
glow and London,) tendered for and 
obtained the Government contract for 
carrying the mails, at first fortnightly 
and afterwards weekly. 

These Steamers commenced their 
regular trips in 1856 ; the following 
vessels being placed on the route: — 
the Canadian*, North American, Indian 
and Anglo-Saxon. They made thirteen 
voyages during the season to Montreal 
and Quebec. The same ships ran 
during the season 1857 ; three voyages 



being made to Montreal and eleven to 
Quebec. The Steamer Canadian was 
lost on her first voyage from Liverpool. 

In 1858, the Mail Line comprised the 
North American, Anglo-Saxon, Indian, 
Nova-Scotian, and the North Briton. 
They made their fortnightly trips with 
great regularity. 

In 1859, a new contract — still in exis- 
tence — was made with the Government 
by the Messrs. Allan, and the mails 
were carried weekly between Liverpool 
and Montreal. The vessels employed 
were the Anglo Saxon, North Britain, 
North American, Nova-Scotian, Indian*, 
and Hungarian*. They made twenty- 
eight passages between the ports during 
the season. 

In this year the "Anchor Line" 
was organized in Glasgow, and a line 
of Steamers placed on the route be- 
tween that port and Montreal. It con- 
tinued to run for six years. The Uni- 
ted Kingdom and John Bell of this line 
made monthly^trips during the season. 

In 1860 the Mail Line comprised 
the Anglo-Saxon*, Nova-Scotian, North 
American, North Britain*, Bohemian*, 
Canadian, No. 2* Palestine, Melita, 
and Jura*, making twenty-nine voya- 
ges during the season. In 1861 the* 
Hibernian and Norwegian* were added 
to the Mail Line; also, the Messrs. 
Allan's started their "Glasgow 
Line," with two new vessels, the St. 
Andrew and the St. George. 

In 1869, the "London Steamship 
Line" consisting of the Steamers, Da- 
cia, Cleopatraf, and Medway, commenced 
running to Montreal. The Niger, Sev- 
ern, and Thames have since been added 
to this line. — D. Shaw, Agent.

The Great Western Telegraph 
Company is announced with a capital 
of £1,350,000, in 67,500 shares of £20 
each, of which 45,000 are offered for 
subscription to the public. We are 
informed that the Company has been 
formed to connect New York with 
England, and to connect the West 
Indies directly both with New York 
and England, without in either case 
the intervention of any system of land 
lines. In fact, the line will be laid 
from as convenient a line as possible 
near the Land's End, Cornwall, Eng- 
land, to the Island of Bermuda, from 
which there will be branch lines north 
and south to New York and St. Thomas 
in the West Indies, for the latter of 
which a short cable will without diffi- 
culty give the shortest route to Brazil, 
and at the same time place that im- 
portant Empire in direct communica- 
tion both with the United States and 
England. A working agreement has 
been made between the Great Northern 
Telegraph Company of Europe and 
this Company, which secures to the 
latter the traffic from Denmark, Nor- 
way, Sweden, Russia, China and Japan ; 
passing over the lines of the Great 



Northern Telegraph Company, and 
intended for America; and, further, 
it has been arranged that when that 
Company establishes its projected North 
Atlantic Line, a joint purse agreement, 
on an equitable basis, shall be made 
with this Company, with reference to 
North American traffic, which will 
give this Company the important 
vantage of a duplicate between Eng- 
land and America. One recommenda- 
tion of the Company to public support 
will be found in the fact that, it is 
intended to reduce the charge for the 
transmission of ordinary messages be- 
tween England and America to one- 
half the present rate, or £1 for every 
ten words, and to adopt a similar sys- 
tem for messages to the West Indies ; 
while the co-operative or mutual sys- 
tem is to be brought into play, by 
giving a discount to shareholders, hold- 
ing not less than 100 shares, of 10 per 
cent, on all messages sent by them. A 
contract has been entered into for the 
making and laying the cables for £1,- 
330,000, of which amount the contrac- 
tors or their connections are to take one- 
third in the shares of the Company. —

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD PROSPECTUS. 



SEVEN-THIETY GOLD LOAN. 



In its First Mortgage Gold Bonds 
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com- 
pany furnishes to the public an Invest- 
ment Security which combines the 
ready Negotiability, the Convenience, 
and 'the high Credit of a first-class 
Railroad Bond, with the Solidity and 
Safety of a Real Estate Mortgage on 
Land, worth at least twice the amount 
loaned. 

These Bonds, which, after full investi- 
gation, we strongly recommend as a relia- 
ble and unusually profitable investment, 
and which now stand among the most 
solid and favorite securities, have the 
following leading features : — 

1. The issue is limited to $50,000 
per mile of road ; holders are exempt 
from United States tax ; the Principal 
and Interest are payable in Gold — 
the principal in thirty years, and the 
interest (at the Banking House of Jay 
Cooke & Co., New York,) semi-annu- 
ally, first of January and July, at the 
rate of 7 T 3 o per cent, per annum — 
nearly 8\ per cent, currency. De- 
nominations, coupon ; $100, $500, and 
$1000; Registered; $100, $500, $1, 
000, $5,000, and $10,000. Present 



selling price, par and accrued in- 
terest IN CURRENCY. 

2. The bonds are a First and Only 
Mortgage on the Road, its Equipments 
and Earnings, and also on a Land 
Grant which, on the completion of the 
Road, will exceed 23,000 Acres to 
each mile of track, or 500 acres of 
Land to secure each $1,000 bond. 

3. They are at all times receivable 
at ten per cent, premium (1.10), in pay- 
ment or exchange for the Company's 
Land at market prices— a provision 
which practically gives the holder of 
these mortgage bonds the power of 
foreclosure at will. 

4. The proceeds of all sales of Land 
are required to be devoted by the 
Trustees of the bond-holders as a Sink- 
ing Fund to the purchase and can- 
cellation of the first mortgage bonds, 
or temporarily to the payment of in- 
terest thereon, if necessary. 

As these bonds are a first lien upon 
the Road and its Traffic, and upon a 
Government Grant of Land, the char- 
acter of the security will obviously 
depend jointly upon the Earnings of 
the Road and the Value of its land. 



PACIFIC RAILROAD EARNINGS. 



As officially reported, the gross earn- 
ings of the present Pacific Railroad 
(Union and Central) for 1871, the sec- 
ond year of through business, reached 
nearly Seventeen Millions and a Quar- 
ter ($17,250,000.) Of this amount, 



65 per cent, was from Local Business, 
and fully 55 per cent, or nearly Nine 
and a Half Millions, were net over 
operating expenses. An equal traffic 
on the Northern Pacific Road (and it 
can hardly fail to secure a much 



greater) will pay a yearly net dividend 
of more titan 9£ per cent, on its total cost. 
This established success of the first 
Pacific Road places beyond question 
the prosperity and profitableness of the 
Northern Pacific Line, with its great 



and obvious advantages in Distance, 
Gradients, Exemption from Snow, Cost 
of Construction, Climate, and Tributary 
Fertile Country. Each Koad lias an 
ample field of its own — the two being 
500 miles apart. 



THE VALUE OF LAND GRANTS. 



The average price at which the 
twenty-five leading Land-Grant Kail- 
roads have thus far sold their lands is 
$7.04 per acre — the highest average 
of any grant being $13.98, and the 
lowest $3.07. With few exceptions, 
the average selling price has steadily in- 
creased from year to year. The lands 
of the Northern Pacific Koad are 
admitted, by all who have seen them, 
to be better and more salable than 
those of most other grants ; but, sold 
at the general average of $7.04 per 
acre, they will yield more than $161, 
000 per mile — more than three times 
the possible cost of the Road and the 



issue of bonds ; or, at the lowest aver- 
age of any grant ($3.07), they will 
produce more than $70,000 per mile. 
Some Two Million Acres of these 
lands, lying in the most fertile and 
attractive part of Minnesota, are now 
ready for occupancy, and are being 
rapidly taken up by an excellent class 
of settlers. 

These facts regarding Pacific Rail- 
road earnings, and the market value 
of Railroad Lands, as shown by actual 
sales to settlers, strikingly exhibit the 
three-fold security of Northern Pacific 
Kailroad Bonds. 



EXCHANGING U. S. 5-20's. 



In view of the ability and fixed 
policy of the Government to call in 
all its 5-20's and substitute a low in- 
terest bond, many holders of 5-20's 
are exchanging them for Northern 
Pacific's, thus adding to their princi- 
pal the present premium on Govern- 
ment Bonds, and increasing their year- 



ly interest income nearly one-third. 
All marketable stocks and bonds will 
be received (by express or otherwise) 
at current prices, in exchange for 
Northern Pacific Seven-Thirties, with- 
out expense to the investor. Pam- 
phlets and full information will be 
furnished on application.

from Kansas City, 639 miles. Or travelers can reach 
Colorado by 'lay of Chicago to Omaha; over the 
Union Pacific ; and Denver Pacific, passing through 
Cheyenne an. Greeley : distance from Omaha, 622 
miles. At Denver, the tourist connects with the Don. 
ver Rio Grande Railway for Colorado Springs, 76 
miles south, passing along some of the noblest moun- 
tain scenery in the north, down Plum Creek and the 
Monument Valley to Colorado Springs, at the base 
of Piko's Peait. From Colorado Springs to Pueblo 
the distanco is 43 miles, reached by tho Denver and 
Rio Grande Railway. From Pueblo, stages run south 
daily, connecting with all important points in South- 
ern Colorado, bid and New Mexico. From Colorado 
Springs to Canon City 86 miles. From this point 
Tourists can visit the famous Canon of the Arkansas, 
the Iron Mountain, Salt Springs, Twin Lakes, 
Wet Mpuntair Valley, San Louis Valley, and other 
points of interest.

76 miles south of Denver, Tourists can visit the fa- 
mous Chiann Canon, which exceeds in grandeur and 
magnificence >oth the Weber and the Echo Canon, 
having a wntei fall estimated at 300 feet. This Canon 
is pronounced by European Tourists to equal or ex- 
cel in its grandeur anything found in the Alps. 
Within five mies are tho Garden of the Gods, Glen 
Eyrie, and th< Soda Springs, any one of which is 
worth a long ./ourney to see. The wonderful rock

The Mineral Springs, made fame up <• Ruxton, Fre- 
mont, Bowles, Richardson and other writers, are 
now, through railway facilitic- . ithin toe reach of 
all visitors. They are becoming celebrated for their 
high medicinal virtues and Dispeptics, Asthmatics, 
Rheumatics, are nocking to then) testing the 
elixir which is to renew their health. The 
local reputation of these famous Bprings is f«.-t 
becoming lost in a National reiiown, and inva'ids 
cannot fail being benefitted by their wate'.s. 
Glen Eyrie is an abode of beauty, wherein nature 
seems to have been more than u. nally lavish of her 
treasures; within its borders lie Queen Canon, in 
which the Naiad's Bath is a prourrieit feature. The 
Ute Falls, in Rainbow Glen, half a mile ab- ve the 
Soda Springs, is an especially b \y pointof interest; 
here the Waters of the Fount: I flash ..ver massive 
boulders, sending its spray high n the air, and pre- 
senting a scene of fascination worthy 'he pencil of 
a Bierstadt or of a Church. 

Nine miles north of Colorado Springs, Monument 
Park, full of fantastic formations, invites tourists 
to explore its unique beauties. Fill Hugh Ludlow 
wrote : " It contained obelisks, runcatod columns, 
shafts and urns, pedeslated statu-s, plain horizontal 
tablets and royal Sarchophagi. ras a vari. t> 

of the monuments, which seem- e .ngu eiplicu- 
ble on the ground of mere geologic chauce." 

A bill is now before Congress nn.t; . ais wonder- 
ful region apart as a public pit in ground. 

All these points of interest son be easily reached 



from Colorado Springs, where I

and rise to see the sun first cast its rays over the 
vast plains lying between us and the Missouri River, 
is an event to be rotnembered for a life tinio. The 
Twin Lakes are beyund South Park, in the Arkansas 
Range of Mountains, and are becoming a favorito 
place of resort for fishing and boating. Theso can 
be reached by a tri weekly stage, running from 
Colorado Springs to Fair Play, and this is also the 
easiest route to Mounts Lincoln and Bross and the 
newly discovered Silver Mines. Tourists hero pass 
through the interesting Petrified Forest, near Judge 
Costilla's Ranche, twenty five miles from Colorado 
Springs This is also the nearest and the best route 
from Denver and the East to the South Park and 
the Salt Springs, passing through the Fountain 
Canon, over the Uto Pass, three miles of which are 
cut through solid granite, giving the passenger one 
of the fioest and wildest views of the Rocky Moun- 
tains, with an opportunity to stop and admire the 
Ute Falls on their way to the Park. 

Sportsmen can find in the immediate vicinity, 
Game of all kind; to the Eastward, on the Plains, 
are the herds of Buffaloes and Antolope, while in 
the Mountains, to the West, are to be found Elk, 
Cinnamon and Black Bear, Deer and Rocky Moun- 
tain Sheep. In all the Streams and Lakes, Speckled 
Trout abound, with every variety of water foul, such 
as Sp ins, Geese, Ducks, Cranes, Pidgoons, Snipos 
and Pel.cans. 

The Sanitary Infiuenees of the Climate and beau- 
ties of the Scenery must be felt and seen to bo 
appreciated. Volumes could be written upon these 
two subjects alone, for Colorado has tho Healthiest 
Climate and the finest Natural Scenery in the World, 
rivalling the Mountains of Switzerland and the 
Valleys of Italy. As a late writer aptly and sue 
cinctly observes— " There are Trout Streams for th( 
Angler ; Forests abounding with Game for the Hunt 
er; Medical Springs for Invalids ; Gold and Stiver 
Mines for the Fortune Hunter; and rich Soil and 
good markets for the Farmer. In short, Colorado 
offers greater attractions to pleasure seekers and 
invalids and seekers after new homes, than any other 
portion of the Continent."
